Be open to experiences that might change you: Creativity grows out of everyday experiences – including letting go.
Accept challenges: Creativity often grows from the broken places – Embrace the challenge! Let go of the present to be able to explore the future. Richard Serra let go of painting, but he did not let go of art.
Embrace limitations: Discover insights and develop new appreciations as you deal with limitations and constraints.
